Bioengineering and/or fermentation

Synthetic biology and production of bioproduct in yeast or bacteria

Thesis project description

I am not settled on a topic yet, and is therefore very open to adapt the topic of my project to fit with a possible company. However, I would like my thesis to deal with bioengineering/synthetic biology/heterologous expression and how this can be used to produce bioproducts (medicine, fragrances, etc.) in yeast or bacteria. Depending on the organism and how far your company has come with the bioengineering of it, the project could also deal with how to upscale the production in terms of fermentation, bioreactor, etc.

Managerial value of the research

Depending on the project, the value of the colaboration will bring research and innovation to the company. 

Research topic motivation

My interest in this field of Biotechnology was especially arose after following the courses "Synthetic Biology" and "Heterologous Expression". The future of bioproduct production in micro factories is huge, and I would love to be part of the innovative industry either at a well established company or a smaller start-up.

Why collaborate with us

I have the teoretical and practical backgroud for a project in the field, and combined with my curiousity and dedication, I strongly belive that I will be doing some interesting research and a good final thesis.
